biggest spenders in history?

bush and reagan...

In my lifetime every president has spent more than the guy before him.
I assume that was true forever.

makes sense to me...except for clinton. but i think monica took up
alot of his time, so he wasn't thinking of spending


I bet federal; expenditures 1/1992 - 1/ 2001 were higher than
1/1981-1/1989.

Pretty safe bet. But would also bet if you ploted government tax
increases they are far above government stated inflation as is
governemtn spending. That is, CPI is a cooked number below real inflation.

Plugged my home value in knowing what it was worth in 1980. If I listed
it for the 2010 stated value in the calcualtor, I would have people
knifing each other in the back to get the deal like that.
